It\u2019s a service that helps language teachers connect with students. Classes take place online and are private one-to-one classes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students pay directly to iTalki and teachers receive payment from the platform, which takes a cut of the hourly rate. The Hong Kong company was founded in 2006 as a language exchange and added the marketplace in 2008. There are over 130 languages, more than <strong>10,000 language professionals<\/strong>, and over 5 million language learners on the platform in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-button ugb-button-wrapper ugb-0ff53d6 ugb-main-block\"><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-button-container\"><a class=\"ugb-button1 ugb-button ugb-button--size-large ugb--hover-effect-scale\" href=\"https:\/\/latinamericanspanishcafe.com\/italki-spanish-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"\"><span class=\"ugb-button--inner\">Get a free italki account<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Searching for teachers, finding conversation partners, booking with, and learning can all take place on the browser or phone app versions of the platform. But lessons are generally carried out via Skype, Google Hangouts, and the new italki Classroom platform. The italki Classroom option is still in beta testing. It&#8217;s a seamless process and it&#8217;s easy to find, book, and communicate with people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want an easy way to find an online Spanish tutor?

Well, there\u2019s no fee to use the platform but teachers charge their own fees. is determined by the rate the teacher charges. You can find professional teachers that set prices as low as $4 and also top professional tutors charging hundreds of dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my opinion, it\u2019s still one of the best value ways to learn a language online. Even better than in person as you don\u2019t need to travel and if you live in an expensive Western country, the cost of in-person classes can be high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many teachers offer a 30-minutes trial lessons which are shorter classes or conversations with a lower rate. If you&#8217;re looking for a particular kind of teacher, it&#8217;s worth taking some trial lessons to find the right teacher for you. Everybody has their own way of learning and even the best teachers are not suitable for every language learner. Once you find a teacher that you&#8217;d like to take lessons with, save money by buying a package of lessons. A package is just a discounted price on multiple lessons purchased in advance. Many teachers prefer to offer lessons at a discounted rate so that they can manage their calendars better. Language learners benefit by saving even more money which they can use to pay for more lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve used italki for Spanish mostly and dabbled in learning Thai and a couple of other languages. I\u2019m a reasonably fluent speaker of Spanish and I use the platform as a great way to talk to native speakers. Argentine Spanish is what I learned during my five years in the country and I can find professional teachers around the world for less than $15 per hour. The economy is suffering and the value of the peso has dropped against the dollar dramatically. That\u2019s unfortunate for the locals but gives students a lot more spending power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this is one of the benefits of italki. You can leverage international exchange rates and location arbitrage. A native Thai teacher in New York might charge $50 per hour or more. That same teacher living in rural Thailand might charge less than $10. The cost of living is much lower and they can afford to offer a lower rate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"italki-community\"><\/span>Italki Community<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve signed up on the platform, you will have access to the italki community. If you are just begging a new language, this is. great place to start learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Articles&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where professional teachers and community tutors post language learning articles that everyone can read for free. However, there&#8217;s no real way to search for articles and there&#8217;s no direct way to filter by language. Below the brief excerpt of the article, you will find a tag that indicates the target language. Clicking this will show all of the articles about that language. That&#8217;s one hack for finding articles you might be interested in. Beyond this, it&#8217;s fairly limited. If you find a writer that you like, you can click through to their profile and hire them.

It&#8217;s also a feature that lets you get free language practise sessions and even lessons (depending on what you agree on doing with your language learning partner). The partner section of the website is a portal for finding language learning exchanges. Look for a speaker of your target language (let\u2019s say French) and arrange for a call. The general rule is that half of the time would be spent speaking in French and the other half in your native language (or whatever dialect you have offered in return). It\u2019s a win-win for everyone. This won\u2019t work for people short on time. And it also doesn\u2019t really work if you want to learn grammar or you\u2019re a total beginner. It\u2019s great for intermediate speakers who just want to practise but don\u2019t want the expense of hiring a teacher. Like a free language tutor but you pay with your own time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s one of the easiest to use and best language exchange sites, despite the fact that italki\u2019s main focus is on teacher-student classes. The mature and robust platform offers a great user experience &#8211; something I haven\u2019t found on other language exchange websites.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"standout2\"><li>Looking to compare italki with another platform or simply looking for an alternative, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/latinamericanspanishcafe.com\/preply-vs-italki\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1652\" target=\"_blank\">check out Preply in this comparison<\/a>.<\/li><li>Check out Babbel&#8217;s new offering in 2021 &#8211; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/latinamericanspanishcafe.com\/babbel-live\" target=\"_blank\">Babbel Live<\/a> &#8211; which looks to be a great product.<\/li><li>Another alternative to italki is <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/latinamericanspanishcafe.com\/lingoda\" target=\"_blank\">Lingoda<\/a>, a language platform with interactive lessons and pre-screened teachers.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"italki-review-score-verdict\"><\/span>italki review score &amp; verdict<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>italki gives you all the tools you need to language tutoring online. While quality control is an issue with all marketplaces, there&#8217;s a solid system for finding the best teachers based on feedback and ratings.

It works really well and the negative experiences are generally only with poor quality teachers.

The mature platform has a network of thousands of teachers from every country and the modern, fast user interface makes it easy to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is Italki safe?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>italki is safe. The platform is well established and has systems for ejecting weirdos and abusive people. Obviously, italki cannot control what happens over a Skype call but you should be vigilant. Don\u2019t give financial or sensitive personal information away to a teacher. Don\u2019t offer passwords or anything that could be used against you. Most people are on the platform to make money or learn a language. A few bad eggs might try to cause problems but this happens on every platform on the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company states that it &#8220;reports of unwanted sexual advances very seriously&#8221;. It&#8217;s forbidden to use the site for dating and there&#8217;s a <a href=\"https:\/\/support.italki.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/215325898-italki-Teacher-Policies-Teacher-Code-of-Conduct\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">strict code of conduct for both teachers and students<\/a>. All teachers must follow an application procedure and be approved by the website administrators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is italki free?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially, yes. The app is free to use and you can discuss your language, ask questions, and even get practice partners at no cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How much does Italki cost?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost depends on the teacher you choose and the number of lessons you buy in advance. Everything else on the platform is free to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/latinamericanspanishcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/review-of-italki-language-tutoring-platform-for-spanish-speakers.jpg\" alt=\"italki Spanish Review\" class=\"wp-image-1465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/latinamericanspanishcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/review-of-italki-language-tutoring-platform-for-spanish-speakers.jpg 600w, https:\/\/latinamericanspanishcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/review-of-italki-language-tutoring-platform-for-spanish-speakers-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/latinamericanspanishcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/review-of-italki-language-tutoring-platform-for-spanish-speakers-380x570.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>italki is the most popular online platform for finding language tutors, professional teachers, and language study partners.
